I love your surreptitious post-modern interpretation of the existential nature of our obsession with weather. It is a enlightening discourse on the hegemony of modern media in defining the nature of the world we live in and presenting a virtual microcosm of it as the official truth. Marshal McLuhan, Eco and Chomsky along with Arundhati Roy have commented on this a lot.

Q:What beats weather man who doesnt understand weather?
A:South American or random Latino weather man on CNN who doesnt understand anything and spends half the weather report flirting with Kristy Lu Stout. Or Latino weatherwoman who discusses what to wear in the weather with Kristy Lu Stout.
What is what all the f#$king chattiness on CNN? I thought it was a news channel. But at least the headline wasnt “Commissioner ka kutta lapata”
Pls give me back 30 minute world news with Tejaswar Singh and Smita Patil. Special 1 hour World This Week by Pranoy Roy. I cant take this 24 hour rerun after agonizing rerun of 5 sec clip of Micheal Jackson.

Nice Comic Post Saad….truly captures the casual worries of general public about weather…..on a big pictures perhaps this Discourse of weather worries suggest the affect of TV news on our general life. People tend to worry about the distant and existential issues which we can’t really solve as such. Although, the situation is indeed surreptitious,one shouldn’t really worry as we are not the experts. Nor are some Cabinet Ministers who gave some bogus interpretation of their theory of rain lately. I heard a news lately that China shoot down the Rain Clouds to ensure the Interruption free Olympics. Now I am not sure if it’s reverse can be done and that too in India, but what we can try to do is do our best to keep the planet green as a microcosm effort towards a sustainable future of our weather and planet and more importantly stop worrying about things which are out of control.

@nidhesh: A well thought out comment, and also used existential. Seriously though, yes, I too was wondering why can’t we shoot the clouds and make it rain like China? Maybe the area affected by such methods is too small… but anyway, think about the political mileage a minister can get out of by producing rain at will!

@money shot and @nidhesh: You two won the internetz. Please share it between you.

Weather prediction was close to being compared with Astrology. It is no longer so after the advent of satellite pictures and the measurements of wind velocities and directions. It is awe inspiring to realise that there are two regions of clouds separated by a cloudless region and it is a thrill to watch the the clouds as the 747 flies past them from clear blue skies at an altitude of several KMs to land at an airport on the ground!

It also shows what does everyone think of a drought situation, If crops fail, it is going to affect the overall food grain availability. Good One Saad !
